SpOck Lives

The Superior Spider-Man is one of the most fun comics out there right now. For those who don’t follow comics: Doctor Octopus has taken over Peter Parker’s body after his own body died, and is masquerading as Spider-Man. Writer Dan Slott has gotten a great deal of mileage from the idea of this egotistical, megalomaniacal character trying to pass as such an earnest, nebbishy hero.

But let’s be clear on one thing; this is a fun storyline. Peter Parker will be back, probably in time for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and will have to deal with the fallout of what Ock has done to his life. You can probably also count on Otto going back to being Doctor Octopus, through cloning, time-travel, or magic, because Marvel.

Also,it’s the first appearance of mid-90s Richmond and Mowrer! We were doing something very like this back then, and dressing very similar to what you see here. Bonus points to whoever recognizes my t-shirt – or what Mowrer’s wearing around his neck.
